Platform Mounted Cranes

Platform Knuckle Boom Crane

The Strive Engineering Deck Knuckle Boom Crane is the ultimate solution for heavy-duty lifting in space-constrained environments. Engineered for maximum flexibility and rugged durability, our knuckle boom (articulating) cranes provide the dexterity of a human arm with the industrial power required for deck-side operations, offshore platforms, and shipboard loading.

Unlike traditional stiff-boom cranes, the articulating "knuckle" design allows the crane to fold into a compact footprint when not in use, preserving valuable deck space without sacrificing lifting capacity.

Key Performance Features

1. Articulating Dexterity

The dual-linkage boom system allows for precise maneuverability. It can "reach over" obstacles and place loads with surgical accuracy in tight spots, making it ideal for engine room maintenance, cargo handling, and equipment positioning.

2. High Power-to-Weight Ratio

Utilizing high-tensile strength steel, our cranes provide massive lifting torque while remaining lightweight. This ensures minimal impact on your vessel’s stability and maximum payload efficiency.

3. Marine-Grade Protection

Built to survive the harshest maritime conditions, our cranes feature:

• C5-M Marine Coating: Multi-layer epoxy finish for superior corrosion resistance.
• Stainless Steel Piping: All hydraulic lines and fittings are designed to resist salt-spray erosion.
• Sealed Components: Fully enclosed slewing bearings and protected hydraulic cylinders.

4. Advanced Safety Systems

• Overload Protection: Automated hydraulic cut-offs to prevent structural stress.
• Emergency Stop: Instant-response controls located at the operator station and remote.
• Fail-Safe Brakes: Automatic winch and swing brakes ensure load security during power fluctuations.
